Mozilla Firefox is Spreading

As Microsoft Corporation leaves Internet Explorer un-upgraded to the next version that includes major features and security bug fixes, except for Windows XP users that installs Service Pack 2, most users are trying to look for another alternative for browsers which is safer, better, and faster than Internet Explorer. This is where Mozilla Firefox is playing the role. Mozilla Firefox is the lite-version of Mozilla which focused on browser capabilities, while Mozilla is the complete apps, including mail client, web composer, and others.

Mozilla Firefox has gained a great response from many users around the world. When SFX (Spread Firefox) website was released, it was visited by many visitors and they joined to the campaign to socialize and promote Firefox in around the world. I'm one of the users and you can see my promotion in my website. Look for the right side under my Brainbench certification.

The SFX site gained 10.000 new users in less than 10 days, just like the Firefox which was downloaded more than 5 million users and still increasing. This is a great media to promote Firefox. I think this number will increase a lot when Firefox 1.0 Final is released next month. People are attracted by the simplicity, security, and flexibility that was offered by the Firefox development team.

Just like the virus that are spreading, Firefox does too, but it's for the good purpose, not like virus that only damages and ruined other people computer or wasting network resources.
